The Vans Old Skool V Infant Shoes are engineered for the active, curious infant. The double riptape fastenings are a game-changer for parents, allowing for swift and hassle-free dressing, which is invaluable when dealing with a squirming child. This also means a more consistent and secure fit than traditional laces, reducing the risk of shoes coming off during play.
For infants who are crawling, cruising, or taking their first steps, the reinforced toe caps offer crucial protection against scuffs and bumps, extending the life of the shoes. The padded ankle collars provide the necessary support for developing ankles, promoting stability and comfort as they explore their environment. The rubber waffle sole delivers excellent traction on various surfaces, from indoor floors to outdoor playgrounds, helping to prevent slips and falls. These shoes are ideal for daily wear, whether at the park, daycare, or family outings, blending style with practical infant-specific needs.
Using your Vans Old Skool V Infant Shoes is straightforward:
Open Riptape: Fully open both riptape straps.
Insert Foot: Gently slide your infant's foot into the shoe, ensuring toes are not curled.
Adjust & Secure: Close the riptape straps, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit. Ensure there's enough room for movement but no excessive slipping.
These shoes are specifically designed for the infant age group (UK size 8 in this model), focusing on comfort, ease of use, and durability for early walkers and toddlers.
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your suede and canvas Vans:
Regular Cleaning: For light dirt, use a soft brush or cloth to gently remove debris.
Spot Cleaning: For stains on suede, use a specialized suede cleaner or a damp cloth with a mild soap solution, gently blotting the area. For canvas, a mild soap and water solution can be used with a soft brush.
Drying: Always air dry shoes away from direct heat or sunlight to prevent material damage or shrinking.
Protection: Consider using a suede and fabric protector spray to repel water and stains, especially before first wear.
Avoid Washing Machine: Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as this can damage the materials and construction.
